being vertically challengedBy: massi karumi | Monday , 12 Oct '09 19:45:02 PM Reply | Forward I hear your pain i suppose for a woman it is expected that we are shorter than our partners.I am 40 now and my adult height is 4'8 my dad is 5'2 and my mum is 4'7.I am the oldest then there is my brother he is 38 and 5'0 followed by my sister who is 34 and she is 4'10.lastly is my youngest sister and she is 30 and 5'0.I have noticed that over the last few year mum doesnt seem as tall has she used to be and i think she may be about 2 ins shorter than me.Even with dad he seems more nearer to 5'0 which is still taller than me though.My husband is 4'11 and he comes from a short family.I am glad i found a short guy though has i wouldnt be able to handle a guy too tall it would look silly.I already get treated like a child when i am out and about and i dont get any respect from people.I just buy clothes from the childrens shops and they tend to fit well for my slight body.I do get strange lookds however when i buy clothes never mind hey.

being vertically challengedBy: quasi mahood | Saturday , 29 Aug '09 0:37:56 AM Reply | Forward I suppose the worst thing is being short and being a guy that is the position i am in and i dont like it.I have just turned 18 and my height was measured at 4'8 i suffer from a lack of growth hormone and i stopped growing st the age of 12.For some reason it is only me that has suffered i have a brother who is 22 and he is 5'8 then comes me at my measly height and then comes my sister who is 17 and she is 5'0 lastly is the youngest she is 15 and she is already 5'3.I take alot of stick for being the shortest in my family.I get youngsters coming up to me trying to measure if they are taller than me.I always notice them do it.I have to go to kids sections in the clothing stores has the length is good for me.My shoes are a different matter has i have to fight with the younger kids to get decent shoes.I am called all sorts of names midget, munchkin or just plain old dwarf.Things never change so be greatful for what you have has you are taller than me and i will never get any taller now.
